Reply to "Radiator fluid change"

I have luck cutting off the offending rubber hose -- just make sure you have the replacement on hand. Who would want to reuse a stiff noncompliant one anyway? HUGE HINT use a new sharp razor in a utility knife; works for me every time.

What kind of fluid are you planning on using for the fluid change? Seems like the premixed Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is the way to go in the research that I have done; the ELC is the red stuff. There is no buildup on the radiator core over time, and the stuff is supposed to last years without loosing the rust inhibitors; unlike the green stuff. It is also compatible with all metals. You just have to make sure that you flush the system good to get all of the other stuff out.

Have fun.
